Study on Value Chain Analysis of Plywood in Western Tamil Nadu, India

Shrimp farming in India has grown considerably and has emerged as a major commercial enterprise owing to the introduction of specific pathogen free (SPF) stocks of Penaeus vannamei. The complexity and limited transparency of the shrimp value chain, make it difficult for buyers to take action on cost optimisation. Against this background, a study on value chain analysis of farmed shrimp sector in Tamil Nadu was undertaken with the objectives of analysing different input market channels, inbound and outbound logistics, value chain management (VCM) practices being adopted in shrimp farming, key challenges and finally to suggest a cost effective value chain model for shrimp farmers. Four coastal Districts in Tamil Nadu,namely Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, Ramanathapuram and Cuddalore were selected for the study. From each District, 50 shrimp farmers registered with Coastal Aquaculture Authority (CAA) were selected randomly with a total sample size of 200. Descriptive statistics, multiple regression and factor analysis were employed for data analysis. The annual per hectre yield andincome were estimated at 7.42 t and ₹64.23 lakhs, respectively. The overall distribution of inbound logistics revealed that almost all the inputs were transported through trucks, autorickshaws and motor cycles. The channels of distribution of various inputs were also documented. The overall farm gate price was estimated at ₹433.70 kg-1. Among the VCM practices, feed and feeding management contributed the highest (42.95%). The results of regression model (performed on cost contribution of value chain processes to final price) and factor analysis (frequency of performing VCM processes) concluded that the shrimp farmers regularly perform VCM operations such as feed and feeding management, energy usage, application of probiotics, chemicals and minerals, check tray monitoring and sampling, while they poorly practise VCM processes of waste water management, disinfection protocol, disease management and water quality management. Suitable recommendations for better yield and final price are also suggested.

Understanding relationships and linkages in a commodity value chain is a crucial step in Value Chain Analysis. The objective of this study was to identify and map the stakeholders of Moringa Value Chain in Tiruppur district of Tamil Nadu. Structured interview schedules were used to collect primary data from the actors along the chain. The study identified conventional and peculiar actors such as Input suppliers, Producers, Market intermediaries such as the Wholesalers, Processors, Retailers; and finally the end Consumers. The results revealed that there were six major channels that operated in the study area and Moringa was traded mostly in unprocessed form. Moringa value chain was mapped in different dimensions to dope out the actors involved in the chain, the core processes that took place along the chain, activities undertaken by each actor, tracing the product flow from the farm to fork, knowledge on quality requirements of the produce and the geographical flow of the produce. The study recommended that structuring an efficient value chain will be a possible solution; something which can only be possible through the joint efforts of smallholders, associations, larger companies and public institutions. Also, intervention in the area of linking actors in the value chain to prospective markets will also benefit them.

The City

Semarang City Public Works Department is a state-owned enterprise that works in the area of public services in the city of Semarang. Most of the technological conditions in the Public Works Department are still in manual data management, which is hampering business processes from going well. Therefore this research was conducted to design an Information System at the Semarang City Public Works Department using the Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) method which includes a SWOT analysis and Value Chain analysis. The existing framework in the Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) method can help align the data architecture and application architecture to get the expected results, which is achieving the business objectives of the City of Semarang Public Works Department so that business functions can run by the desired business processes. This research resulted in several proposals for the development of Information Systems and Information Technology in organizations including the development of several applications in the next 5 years.

Role Of The Government

This research was taken in Ambon (Latuhalat and Laha) and in Central Maluku Regency (Waai) in May – July 2018. It was aimed at mapping the value chain of small pelagic fish in Ambon through: 1) mapping of product, financial and information flows and 2). analysis of percentage distribution of small pelagic fish caught. The data used in this study was primary and secondary data, and analyzed by using value chain analysis. The results show that small pelagic fish marketing chain in Ambon consisted of six models with five actors. Each chain is formed due to the conditions and situation of market, resulted by the influencing of catches of fishermen and traders' capital. The broker plays an important role in marketing small pelagic fish in the market and obtaining 10% of the fishermen's catch that can be distributed, both to retailers and cold storage. Fish caught by the fishermen is still fresh in general when arrives in the consumers, because the fishing area is not too far, the market distance with the production centers is also quite close and in general fishermen and traders have understood the importance of maintaining product quality. Even so, the role of the Government in providing marketing facilities and infrastructure is needed so that modern market conditions can be applied in marketing fresh fish in Ambon.
